what is linkedin worth to microsoft? if you look at it in more detail, microsoft have been having a tough time of late. they are pushing their operating system. the phone business is not going well. they are known for their office software. every office in the world is likely to use microsoft office, whether it be outdated or not. linkedin is the social network for business. they have become synonymous with doing business across the world. millions of users. 433 million users have their details on linkedin. they have their information of where they work, when they are looking for jobs, how they are moving. the value may not seem that great, the revenue isn't huge, but you can see the data that microsoft might want to get their hands on and something

that may want to integrate into their office suite. rishaad: that is the key. you mentioned the acquisitions before, skype and nokia. it's one thing that they have got these companies, it is another thing how they make them fit into their products. this is the nearest to the one they already have. is the implementation that will be key. >> if you think back to nokia, the microsoft phone did not really work. it is not something that will be used for business. .m. had that sewn up at the time. skype, if you think of a platform where you are online. the old days of having everything on a mainframe in the office are gone, you have all your office systems online, access to excel, word, and other things you use every day, and in addition you have your entire business network -- a network

that often goes beyond something you would have with an organization, all in one place -- that is a fantastic sales point for microsoft. can they make it work? will people be turned off? will they say, i know what -- i no longer want to put my details on lincoln now that it is on by microsoft -- on linkedin now that it is on microsoft? there are questions about, is the data safe? how will it be used? we do not know at this stage. if it doesn't work, it would be a terrific embarrassment for the company. manus: paul, good morning. look at the potential here. unique users. microsoft just pay $250 for them. subscribers they paid $50 for them. when facebook but whatsapp, they paid $40 and that was one

billion users. this is expensive by any measure and they are taking on debt. whatever way you stack this up, it is a company with declining revenue, people are not signing up for services on a continual basis, could this be the deal that undoes the ceo? >> it depends how it goes. there is so much money at stake, that if it does not work quickly, it will be difficult to recover. they have to find a way to monetize linkedin's content. at waysthey are looking to harvest all of the data machine has to use in a for analytics. they have to think of a way to monetize it quickly. acquiring linkedin seems like a good idea. it is almost a surprise no one has acquired it before now.

acquiring it for this much money -- it is hard to see the sense. there is certainly value, there is a lot to make business from. you can revolutionize the social media business for business, but the question remains, can microsoft make it work? to date, that has not been the case. they have been trailing facebook, trailing behind apple, trailing behind google. it remains to be seen if they can build this niche. yourften do you log into linkedin account? how often do you use it compared to facebook or whatsapp? maybe the data will not be there. rishaad: rupert murdoch. myspace. myspace.ught who uses myspace anymore? over the next quarter

renewables, mainly solar and wind, and the rest will be in fossil fuel generation and nuclear power. what is driving this is that given the supply glut, as far as oil and gas are concerned, the prices are low. the cost of generating oil and gas is low and likely to remain low, but the cost of generating solar and wind is lower. if we look at the countries of the world, for many of these countries, the cheapest source inpower would be renewable 2020. for most countries, this would be reality in 2030. rishaad: how does the market evolve in the middle east and the asia-pacific? will they be on a different path? >> this is a region blessed with good demand. like the developed world is struggling with flat or

volatility has come down -- that is something that the msci would have wanted to see. we have seen chinese markets become less volatile than japan. they could be lucky when they come through with that decision at 5:00 here in hong kong. manus: have significant a step will this be? some would say it is a baby step. put some context around it. haidi: it is unlikely to trigger any bombardment of capital inflows. it could mean about a $15 billion amount when it comes to inflows in asia. it is tiny in terms of the daily turnover. it does see that over the next decade, ramping up to 100%, potentially leading to $500 billion. also, it does not happen immediately. this will start happening around this time next year. rishaad: haidi lun there.
